* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: ''Danguard'', ''Anime/{{Raideen}}'' and ''Anime/CombattlerV'' were part of the "Shogun Warriors" toy set Creator/{{Mattel}} introduced into the States in the late 70s - which also included bizzaro versions of ''Anime/MazingerZ'' and the various ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getters]]'', so if you really want to stretch the trope you could say that a lot of robots "debuted" as oddly huge toys - but the cartoons weren't licensed for American release. Instead, the likenesses of the Raideen, Danguard and Combattler robots were licensed to, of all people, ''Creator/MarvelComics'' for the creation of a ''Shogun Warriors'' American print comic. That eventually featured, among other things, Combattler fighting alongside the ComicBook/FantasticFour against the gigantic robot minion of the Star of David. Really, you couldn't make up something like this [[http://www.option38.com/comics/80s/shogun_warriors_19.asp if you tried.]] Raideen and Combattler's shows never made it to the US (well, ''Raideen'' aired in three cities on local Japanese language community channels, but the majority of the Union and 99% of the public never got to see the show); ''Danguard'' eventually made it to American TV with the franchise name intact as part of the syndicated ''Force Five'' cartoon package (alongside Grendizer from above) just in time to catch the end of the craze.
